PREFACE. 

After some unavoidable delay, which I much regret, I now pre- 
I sent the Philadelphia Merchants' Diary and Guide, to my 
Patrons, and in a form so neat and compact, that I feel persuaded 
I it will give general satisfaction. The delay was occasioned, 
in the first place, in procuring paper of the proper quality; 
! secondly, in the collection of the miscellaneous matter; and, 
thirdly and lastly, the difficulty of procuring, in this city, the 
t desired number of subscribers. Advertisements from New 
York and Boston were rejected, because I had stated in my 
; Prospectus that the Work would be purely Philadelphian, and 
; devoted exclusively to the advancement of the interests of 
- Philadelphia. My Patrons will see that I have given all that 
I promised, with the exception of the circulation of the Phila- 
delphia Newspapers and Magazines, which was omitted in 
consequence of the utter impossibility of obtaining correct in- 
formation, and the boundaries of the Wards, which it was 
found would occupy too much space. I have, however, added 
other valuable information, the procuring of which cost me 
j considerable time and expense. The location and nights of 
meeting of the different Lodges of the Freemasons, the Odd Fel- 
lows, aud the Sons of Temperance, will be found an attractive, 
as well as convenient feature of the GUIDE. 

In the volume for 1857, which I pledge myself will be out in 
good season, I propose to make still further improvements ; 
I having learned by this experiment, that several advantageous 
| changes may be made ; and I am resolved, if I am successful in 
j obtaining the desired patronage of the Merchants, Manufactu- | 
! rers, and Mechanics of Philadelphia, to produce a work sur- 
passing in elegance and usefulness anything of the kind ever 
] before published in this country. I have found since issuing 
j my Prospectus, (stating that the circulation would be 20,000 
1 copies,) that some gentlemen doubted the veracity of the state- 
ment, in consequence, no doubt, of several of my predecessors 
having been strongly suspected (and probably not without 
reason) of " drawing'the long bow." But I can establish the 
fact beyond a doubt, as I can exhibit the signature of every 
subscriber, showing the number of copies each has received, 
and making in all, as can be readily shown, twenty thousand 
copies gratuitously delivered. Thus my Patrons, to whom I 
here take occasion to return my sincerest thanks, may easily 
comprehend the fact, that the Philadelphia Merchants' 
Diary and Guide, is the cheapest Advertising Medium in the 
United States. Being compelled to leave out several Advertise- 
ments, in consequence of the unexpected space required for 
miscellaneous matter, each subscriber will receive nearly one- 
fourth more copies of the Work than at first proposed. 

In conclusion, it gives me pleasure to speak in terms of un- 
qualified praise as to the tasteful and elegant manner in which 
Mr. Henry B. Ashmead, the Printer, has executed his portion 
of the Work. 

GEO. A. CROFUT.

12 

ECLIPSES IN 1856, 

CALCULATED FOR PHILADELPHIA. 

In 1856, there will be four Eclipses; two of the Sun, and two 
'■ of the Moon. 

1. A total eclipse of the SUN, 20th of April, h. 48 m. morn- 
ing. 

This eclipse is invisible in the Northern hemisphere. It is 
visible only in high latitutes, towards the South Pole. 

2. A partial eclipse of the MOON, 20th of April, as follows: 
First contact with penumbra at Philadelphia, 1 h. 14 m. 

morning. First contact with the Earth's shadow, 2 h. 33 m. 
; Middle of the eclipse, 4 h. 5 m. Last contact with the Earth's 
j shadow, 5 h. 37 m. Last contact with penumbra, 6 h. 56 m. 
1 Digits eclipsed, 7% on the Moon's northern side. The Moon 
I sets at 5 h. 20 m., which prevents the end of the eclipse being

WEEKLY NORTH AMERICAN, 

The Largest and Best Family Newspaper, published at 
$1 per annum, in the United States. 
The great success which has attended the exertions of the 
Publisher of the Weekly North American to supply the public 
with a Family Newspaper, which for cheapness, reliability and 
sound practical information, should stand unrivalled, encour- 
ages him to make increased efforts in the present volume, to en- 
large its sphere of usefulness. Writers of acknowledged merit 
have been engaged to adorn its literary, scientific and news de- 
partments with their choicest productions. Foreign correspon- 
dents, who enjoy rare facilities for obtaining the very latest in- 
telligence, are stationed at London, Dublin and Paris, and their 
contributions will appear regularly in its columns. A lady is 
engaged at Paris expressly to forward the fashions. The home 
correspondence will be equally important, and will embrace 
the writings of able persons in every section of the Union. The 
proceedings in Congress dm-ing this highly exciting session 
will also be fully reported. Everything relating to the progress 
of this State in Agriculture, Mining, Kailroads, Manufactures 
and Commerce will be given with especial care ; while the state 
; of the Markets for Produce, Cattle, Merchandise. Stocks and 
I Money will receive the strictest attention. In the Farmers' 
Department will appear valuable and interesting articles on 
| the latest improvements in this branch of science, by an ex- 
i perienced Agriculturist. 

I The paper is always published on the day it is dated, and 
| contains by this means several days later news than those 
j weekly Journals that are issued considerably in advance of 
I their dates. 

The Weekly North American will give Telegraphic Corres- 
pondence to the moment of going to press from every portion 
! of the country ; and Foreign News by way of Halifax three days 
I in advance of the mails; so that subscribers will have the ad- 
j vantage of obtaining the earliest tidings of every change in the 
political and commei - cial world. The Publisher confidently 
! anticipates a renewal of the generous patronage he has enjoy- 
i ed ; and assures his readers that he will seek to place every 
! subject of interest before them with the greatest despatch, and 
! to make the Weekly North American a family, literary and 
high-toned newspaper of surpassing excellence. Its astonishing 
cheapness will continue to commend it to all.

Lightning 9 Rods. 



ARMITAGE'S PATENT 



The Subscriber calls the attention of the public to his 

SUPERIOR 



It is now fully admitted on all hands, that every building 
to be secure from the destructive influences of Lightning, 
should be provided with a good conductor. 

The large number of worthless Eods that are put up makes 
it necessary for purchasers to examine the merits of the differ- 
ent rods offered for sale. 

I earnestly invite a i*igid examination of the principles on 
which my Rods are constructed. 

I have put up nearly 6,000 Rods, and have never heard 
of the loss of one dollar's worth of property by Lightning, in 
any building, to which one of my Rods has been attached. I 
therefore feel great confidence in recommending them, not only 
as the best, but as the only safe rod in use. 

RJr' The following gentlemen having examined these rods 
and given them their unqualified approbation, have kindly 
given me their permission to refer to them : — 

Walter R. Johnson, Commissioner of Patents. 
Henry McMcrtrie, M. D. T. E. Waller, M. D.

THE PENNm.VANIAN, 

DOUBLE SHEET. 

The Proprietor of the Philadelphia PENNSYLVANIA!*, in 
view of the Presidential Election, has made ample arrangements 
for the improvement of that Journal in all its various depart- 
ments, political, literary and commercial. He is determined to 
spare no expense or labor in supplying to his readers such a 
paper as will be an acceptable visitor at the fireside, and a re- 
sponsible and authentic guide during the trying struggles which 
await our common country. The Pennsylvanian has always 
been foremost in opposing the machinations of the Abolitionists, 
and in exposing their designs against the peace and perpetuity 
of the American Union. Animated by no mercenary motives, 
it could have secured both patronage and praise, had it catered 
to the vile and factious influence of that direful political ele- 
ment. It has preferred doing its duty to the Constitution, and 
has let consequences take care of themselves. 

TER 3VE JS. 

DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN. Double Sheet. $8 per annum, if 
paid in advance, or $7 at the end of the year. 

TB.I- WEEKLY PENNSYLVANIAN, Double Sheet, S3 per 
annum if paid in advance, or S3 50 at the end of the year. 

WEEKLY PEiMNSYLVANIAN, SI per annum if paid in ad- 
vance. 

The price of the WEEKLY PENNSYLVANIAN, for a single 
year, is ONE DOLLAR per annum, but for the purpose of 
further increasing the circulation, we offer the following in- 
ducements to Agents and others to form Clubs : 

One copy, one year, - - - - - - $1 00 

Six copies " __-__-. 5 00 

Twelve, " ______ io 00 

Eighteen, " .----- 15 00 

Twenty -five, " 20 00 

LARGER CLUBS IN PROPORTION. — CASH ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. 

Although the rate at which the Weekly Pennsylvanian is | 
offered falls far below the real value of such a publication, we 
are willing for another year to test the experiment of continuing 
to issue it at this reduced price, in the confident hope that, by 
an extensive circulation, we may be secured from the heavy 
pecuniary sacrifice which such an experiment involves. 

Postmasters will confer a favor by sending to one address 
when convenient.

As a medium of advertising, the TIMES is unsurpassed in 
Philadelphia. One other paper has undoubtedly a larger cir- 
culation, but it may be questioned, whether the value of a 
paper for the purposes of its advertisers always increases in 
proportion to the increase of its circulation. Entering as it 
does into almost every business house in Philadelphia, the 
proprietors of the Times can point with pride to the substantial 
character of its readers. 

The same enterprise that has characterized the Times hereto- 
fore, and which has led to its present high position, will mark 
its future numbers, the proprietors pledging themselves to leave 
nothing undone to merit a continuance of their present liberal 
support.

TO MERCHANTS, 

IPitlUtfitCfKtTO 

AND 

BwmmMEN. 

" Be wise in time— 'tis madness to delay." 

THE WEEKLY COMMERCIAL 



RAILROAD ADVERTISER, 

(Now in its third year,) is especially deserving the attention 
of the business community as an advertising medium. It has 
a general and 

Gratuitous Circulation of many Thousands 

In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Georgia and the 
Northwest — also, on all the lines of Railroad leading to Phila- 
delphia, on the Steamboats plying on the Ohio and Mississippi, 
and in fact at all the principal points where it will meet the 
eye of the Southern and Western Merchant. 

The Publisher of the "Weekly Commercial" is determined 
to present to the mercantile community an advertising me- 
dium which will, in every respect, meet their wants. His 
arrangements for carrying out his plans are complete and 
extensive, and he confidently appeals to the business commu- 
nity to sustain him in his enterprise.

BUSINESS & LITERARY JOURNAL, 

PUBLISHED WEEKLY, 

Under the auspices of Business Men of Philadelphia. 

Combining business intelligence with the choicest American 
and European literature, and spicy miscellaneous reading. 
Circulating, it is believed, over a greater extent of territory 
than any other advertising sheet in the country, while its 
home circulation is fully equal to that of any of our city 
weeklies. Thus offering peculiar advantages to all classes of 
advertisers, whether their places of business be located in 
Philadelphia or in any other city or town of the Union. 



To citizens, Three Cents per number, payable to the carrier. 
Mail subscribers One Dollar per annum, invariably in advance. 
Advertisements inserted at very liberal rates, considering 
the business standing of the paper, and the extent of its cir- 
culation.

valuable volumes, wishes to enlist in their sale a number of 
active and intelligent men, in every section of the Union. His 
Books have all the elements of popularity, being adapted to 
the popular mind, and calculated to please the masses. Printed 
from fine clear type, on elegant white paper, and bound in a 
variety of handsome and endurable styles ; thus making the 
labor of the Agent much less, while the sales are very much 
increased. 

Persons who devote themselves to the dissemination of these 
Books will find it (as numbers are now doing,) a very profit- 
able business, while at the same time they will be effecting an 
immense good for the interests of our common country. 

Exclusive agencies given for whole States or separate Coun- 
ties. 

Very liberal terms allowed, but none but reliable men need 
apply. 

Where an agency is engaged, all orders from other persons 
in the same territory will be referred to the person holding it. 

Terms made known on application to the publisher, post-paid. 

Application should be made at once, as the ground is being 
rapidly occupied. 

My conditions and terms are such that any person of energy 
can, in selling these works, clear from $1,000 to $2,000 a year.

MONTHLY 



% 



Having purchased of Messrs. Campbell & Co., the Suhscrip- 1 
tion List of the RAINBOW, and of Messrs. Lay & Brother. | 
that of the INK FOUNTAIN, the undersigned, on the 15th of] 
March, commenced a new series of the former publication, in | 
a greatly enlarged and much improved form, at the reduced ] 
price of only Fifty Cents a year, and with such addi- 1 
tional Scientific and Literary attractions, as to render it a still j 
more inviting candidate for popular favor. 

The MONTHLY RAINBOW is elegantly printed on a double 
Imperial She6t of fine white paper. The first page is under 
the editorial control of 

Dr. Zj. Xi. OI3C-A-I*3VE-5L3Xr, 

In which that gentleman gives his Pre-calculations for Ele- 
mentary Changes, &c, &c. ; the remaining columns being 
devoted to Popular Literature, Inventions and Discoveries, 
the Useful Arts, Printing Interests, Wit and Humor, Passing 
Events, &c. 

Previous to the union, the RAINBOW had reached the cir- 
culation of seven thousand copies; and the INK FOUNTAIN, 
Jive thousand Jive hundred. Thus it may be seen that the 
combined circulation makes this paper a most desirable Ad- 
vertising Medium. A limited space will be reserved for 
advertisements of a respectable character. None other will 
be inserted at any price. 

Terms of Subscription. — Fifty cents a year for single copies. 
Twelve copies to one address, $5. Twenty-six copies, $10.

PHILADA. NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS. 

Location, Name, Age, Office of Publication, Editors and

In the prospectus of this work I proposed to give the circula- 
tion of the Philadelphia Press ; but on prosecuting my inquiries

HERRING'S 

CHAMPION FIRE PROOF SAFES. 

WITH 

Hall's Patent Powder Proof Locks, 

Which were awarded separate Medals at the World's Fair, 

London, 1851, and also at the World's Fair, 

New York, 1853 and 1854. 



The subscribers are the sole Manufac- 
turers and Proprietors in this State of 
the above unequalled Safes and Locks. 
The reputation of the genuine " Her- 
ring's Safe" is world wide, and for the 
last fourteen years the mercantile com- 
munity have witnessed and borne testi- 
mony to their never failing fire proof 
qualities. More than 1-1,000 of these 
Safes have been actually sold, and over 
two hundred have passed triumph- 
antly through accidental fires. The 
public are assured that all Safes manu- 
factured by the subscribers are not only guarantied to be 
fully equal, but in many respects even superior to those which 
have been so severely tried by fire. Few will forget their ser- 
vices in the burning of the Tribune Establishment, New York, 
and at the Great Fire in Strawberry street, and at the large fire 
last July, opposite the€tirard House; and still more recently, 
in the Fire at Fifth and Chestnut streets in this city, in which 
these Safes came forth the acknowledged Champion, when 
many other securities failed. 

PAREELS & HERRING,
